Home fries with peppers eggs over easy Recipe, serves two 1 large russet potato (or other floury variety) 1 red bell pepper 1 serrano or other small, hot, green chili (optional) 1 bunch of green onions 2 eggs vinegar (any kind that's not balsamic) harissa powder (or some combination of paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, etc) olive oil butter (optional) salt pepper Cut the potato into approx. 1 cm cubes I don't peel the potato, but you can if you want to. Put the cubes into a pot of water a small splash of vinegar in the water will help them keep their shape later as you fry them. Turn heat on high and par-boil the potatoes while you cook your vegetables. Cut the peppers into thin slices. Cut the whites of the green onions into big chunks, and set the greens aside. Heat a nonstick (or well-seasoned cast iron) pan and drop in a thin film of oil. Cook the peppers and scallion whites over high heat, stirring constantly, until they have a little color and are starting to soften about two minutes. Season with salt and pepper and a splash of vinegar. Dump that out on a plate and take the pan off the heat. When you can just barely pierce the potatoes with a fork, drain them. Return the nonstick pan to medium-high heat, drop in a film of oil and a little knob of butter. Drop in the potatoes, spread them to a single layer on the pan surface, sprinkle them with a big pinch of salt, and let them fry for a few minutes until their bottom surfaces are brown and rigid. While you're waiting, cut your onion greens into thin slices. Stir the potatoes frequently and fry until they're as brown as you want them on all sides. If the pan surface is looking dry, you probably need to add more oil to help them fry, but you want them to have absorbed everything by the end, so add oil in conservative doses. Turn the heat off, return the vegetables to the pan and toss them with the potatoes to re-heat them. Stir some big shakes of the harissa powder (or whatever spices you want. Put divide the mixture between two plates. Return the pan to the still-hot (but off) burner and drop in a tiny bit of oil. Gently crack in your two eggs, trying to keep them from touching each other. The eggs should bubble gently if you don't have enough residual heat in your pan/burner, turn the heat back on low. Season the eggs lightly. When the white right around the yolks is just starting to turn opaque, you should be safe to gently flip the eggs with a soft spatula. Do this swiftly and with confidence the yolks can smell your fear, and will break if they don't respect you. For runny yolks, cook them for no more than 30 seconds on the flip side before taking them out to your plates. For medium yolks, do minute. For firm yolks, cook until the yolks feel just solid when you poke them. Top the plates with your slices onion greens

I counted at least 8 dishes to clean. Sorry Adam, but my quick meals (I am super lazy) must be 4 or less!
I've actually made something similar for dinner by searing some chicken and putting it aside (paper plate/towel. Then putting in potatoes like you did and veggies cut roughly the same-ish size as the potatoes in after the potatoes cook for a bit. They soften up and then I add the chicken back in to get everything up to heat and wind up with 3-4 dishes total. A fork, a plate, a pan, and a spatula (which I used as the knife for things like butter.

Another great and easy preparation for home fries is adding crispy bacon bits, finely chopped onion and just a touch of rosemary. That's how we make home fries, or Bratkartoffeln in Germany.
We use slab bacon of course, but i assume that's not as easy to get in most places overseas and it's also not neccessary since you'd want the bacon to be finely chopped anyway. The smokey notes go really well with potatoes, i highly recommend trying this. Serve it with some fried eggs and simple side salad and you're having a commonly eaten German weeknight meal.

Is this how Americans think? Like, they are fried we get it, but they arn't 'fries', they are fried potatoes, fries are the long bois. This explains a lot like why Americans still have Metric vs Imperial, Everything is a sandwich instead of its respective type- burger/roll etc, they use mm/dd/yyyy, Cookies are biscuits, Biscuits are scones, Fahrenheit, Brake lights as indicators, Aluminum, Some pizzas are called pies, 'Pie irons' make tosties, shits backwards.

Adding oil to butter doesn't raise the smoke point of butter, but once you've mixed it together, it's no longer pure butter. you're dealing with a solution. And I'm pretty sure the solution would have a smoke point somewhere between that of the butter and oil. It's a great trick. works extremely well to get butter flavor with less burning.

A bit uncanny how similar this was to my dinner last night, which was made due to a lack of time. Main difference was that I did use a cast iron pan and put a lid on to steam them through browning at first rather than boiling. No real issues with stickage that I tend to get which was lucky

You probably won't see this Adam Ragusea but I have your latest video playing while I cook my weeknight dinners. Even though I make something entirely different than your recipes, your terminology and explanations are really pleasant and my creativity/focus has increased in the kitchen.

So he adds vinegar into the parboiling water to help the potatoes, is the effect something unique too the vinegar itself? Or would any splash of acid work? I've got all the ingredients at home to give this a try, save for the vinegar. Reckon I could get away with lemon juice?

I watched this so closely because my favorite meal lately is basically this. Except I prefer shredded hash browns because frozen shredded are so damn cheap and easy. Also I like how french style scrambled eggs are so rich and go really well with everything else in this.

I recently did just about the same but with everything in smaller cubes and with no precooking, then put three mixed eggs over it and. Tortilla! Not the traditional kind, but really tasty on sandwiches. Kind of home Fries with peppers to go. ;-)

I can dig it. I eat a variation of this often plus some spinach or other sort of greens.
I will call you out though. Cast irons are the OG of nonstick. I can slide an egg off mine any day without any oil or butter. I still use butter for taste though.
